THE Administration has been en-
gagged In o row with the press associa-
tions and newspaper correspondents
for the last forty. eight hours as vigor-
GUS as the Presidents contest with the
Grand Army. When the Presidents $
letter to the Mayor of st. Louis, re-
fusing to visit that city on account of
threatened insults, appeared yesterday
morning In the st. Louis Republican,
New York Herald and Washington
Post, the press associations and repre-
sentatives of other newspapers wante d
an explanation. AT the White
House the surprise and disap.
pointment were as great as among
the newspapers. The President had
designed TO have the letter printed
universally yesterday morning. With
this In view the letter was telegraphed
TO the St. Louis Republican with the
understanding that 1t would be given
to the representatives of the press as.
sociations in that city, and tele.
graphed everywhere as having
been received In ST. Louis. The
programme was not carried out.
An employe of the st. Louis Republican
thought 1t more profitable to withhold
the letter from the press associations
and furnish 1t as special and eXclu,
sive dispatch to the New York Herald.
The only other copy given out was
furnished to the Washington Post, so
that editorial comment might be made
without waiting until the letter was
tel, graphed from st. Louis. When
the first edition of the New York
Herald appeared yesterday morning
the United Press Immediately sent the
letter In time TO appear In the latest
editions of the Cincinnati Eaquirer,
Chicago Herah and Boston GioJe 1t
was by this time, however, too late an
hour 10 secure more general publica.
tion. The editor of the Missouri Re.
publican has assured the White House
that he was betrayed by subordinate,
who has been discharged, and that It
was his purpose to carry out the agree.
ment to supply the letter for general
publication.

OWING to circumstances over which
neither himself nor anybody else seems
TO have any control, the President will
not go West this year TO grow up with
the country in accordance with the
wise suggestion of the late Horace
Greeley.

Mr.. CoNKLING was the guest of the
Grant Club Of Chicago last evening,
and made speech. 1t was brief, but
eloquent and to the point, as Conkling' s
speeches always are. and devoid of the
remotest allusion to politics. Mr..
Conkling, 1t will be remembered. went
out of politics several years ago.

1T is REMARKED of General Corse,
the Boston Postmaster, that during the
seven months since he took the office,
he has made but nineteen removals out
of 756 employees, and these for other
than political reasons. Yet General
Corse has usually been accounted
Bourbon of the Bourbons. His object
has been to maintain the business of

EIGHT VIEWS OF THE LETTER.

The comments of the New York pa
pers upon the Presidents st. Louis
letter are what might have been ex-
pected. Any one who knows the ami
mus and attitude of the leading metro.
politan dailies toward the Administra.
tion could have pretty nearly told In
advance what they would say in ctlti-
cism or Commcndntiun.
The Sun thinks that under the cir.
cumstances the President had good
ground for recOnsideting his determi-
nation to go 10 st. Louis, but that no
allusion whatever should have been
made to "idlc and absurd threats Of
personal violence, The best way to
treat these would have been by "abso.
lutte silence"
The World says that the Presidents S
withdrawal of his acceptance of the in.
vitation to visit st. Louis will be gen.
orally regretted, and, coming directly
after his quick retreat In the matter Of
the battle'i flags, will have an unfavor-
able effect upon his reputation for
plncl."
The Star, while admitting that in.
dividuals will differ widely as to
whether Mr.. Cleveland gave too much
or too little weight to the "silly and
ma'evolent clamor of such demagogues
as Fairchild, Tuttle and Foraker" is
Convinced that no honest and inteli-
gent person can read the Presidents 8
letter without IAN acknowledgment of
the perfect rectitude of his purpose
and the striking courage and candor
of his method"
The Tribune says the letter will be
read with mingled feelings of amaze.
ment and contempt by friends and foes
alike. The President has, in truth,
made O bad matter infinitely worse by
refusing to 60 to st. Louis and by
Offering the snivelling excuses con-
tanned In this letter"
The Herald refers to the action of
the "Jacobin politicians" of the Grand
Army as 20 gross and Indecent exhi.
bition of partisan dog the manger-
ism, of the most contemplate spirit of
demagogy that has been seen since the
war" 1t says that Mr.. Cleveland g
decision is "to be regretted for thou
sand reasons, but especially for the
one assieEnd."
The Times says that the Presidents s
"dignified and patriotic letter is cal.
culated to make the Grand Army OF
the Republic ASHAMED of the conduct
of some Of It's conspicuous members. "
1t is satisfied that the incident will not
hurt the President, but there is
danger that it will hurt an organiza.
tion made up of veterans whom the
people have every reason and every
desire TO honor"
The Mall and Express says the
presidents modification is discern
ible all through his long and somewha,
petulant letter." while the EceHiag Pos!
considers 1t "a document which ough,
to put to shame people of the Genera
Tuttle order who have been threaten,
ing to insult the President of the
United States"

THE suggestion of the Suniay Her.
dld, relative 10 shade trees In the Capt.
tol grounds and the way in which they
are distributed 50 ns to do the least
good, ought to remind the managers of
that noble park of "A strange neglect of
duty and prompt them to measures of
reform. With the exception of til ,
western approach, all the other walk
about these grounds are destitu'e of
shade, and the large area upon the
eastern front Of the Capitol building Is
as arid and scorching on hot day as
the Desert Of Sahara. There should
have been n handsome grove on that
space to temper the rays of the sun In
summer and break the force of the
winds in winter, while all along the
winding curves of concrete, that now
burn the pedestrians feet, there ought
to'be over arching canopies of foliage. 1t
is never too late TO inaugurate whole

The views OF General $. S. Burdett,
ex.commander In chief OF the Grand
Army, on the Presidents action refus.
ing to go TO st. Louis, strike us as be.
ing especially fitting 10 the case. They
are the expressions of man who takes
a broad view of the matter, unbiased
by partisan feeling. His opinions are
entitled to weight and will have their
effect upon the thinking and reasonable
classes In this great organization.
General Burdett does not represent the

FOUND DEAD.-Oar community was
somewhat startled Wednesday afternoon
of last week at the announcement that
Charles Il. Cole had been found dead i'm
the woods near his house a short distance
from town. lie had been drinking Excess
siyely for the last month or two, and for
some days preceding his death had been i'm
a dreadful condition, being i'm fact almost
maniac. lie had stayed at the house but
little. and ran away i'm a half nude con-
dition Wednesday morning and returned
about noon. lie refused to eat anything
and imagining that some one was trying to
hurt him he again took to the woods and
this was the last seen of him alive. Nor
ris Blackwell came to town to get assist
ance to arrest and confne Cole and while
here received the news that he had been
found dead. The body was lying in the
bushes in little ravine a few hundred
yards from the house. Charlie Cole was
a man who had seen better days, socially
as we'll as financially. He was we'll known
throughout Granville and Vance counties
as a local Republican politician and at one
time welded strong influence among his
party. In charity We will draw a veil of
silence about the dead and leave his
faults as undisturbed as We would have
his rest to be. Deceased was about 81
years old and leaves three children, all
boys.

the trade of this section, and can get it If

A CARD.

To the Honorable Board Of TOaon Commits
sinners:
GENTLEMEN Il herewith tender you my
resignation as Mayor of the town of Hem
iersOn, to take effect on the first day of
September, proxinO. This action is taken
with many personal regrets, not only be-
cause of the appreciation of the honor con-
ferred upon me, and dislike to relinquislI
an Office to which have been elected by
the votes of my friends. but also because of
a sincere desire not to appear as acting in
bad faith with them. But circumstances
over which have no control make is nee
essary for ME to take this step. My friends
are aware that my health of late has been
somewhat impaired, making it impossible
for ME to attend TO both my private and
public duties i'm manner satisfactory to
myself at least, and in view Of this fact
have thought it proper to adopt this course.
With these few reasons which seem to me
good and sufficient, deem it unnecessary
to say more.
Gratefully appreciative of the honor that
lay aside. permit me to say that in retir-
ing feel that can do so with the con-
sciOusness of an approval Of my short Of
fetal term for which am sincerely thank
full. Very Respectfully,
